Lyrics

[Intro]

I'm coming out

I'm coming

I'm coming out

I'm coming out

[Intro]

I'm coming out

I'm coming out

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show

[Verse 1]

There's a new me coming out

And I just have to live

And I wanna give

I'm completely positive

I think this time around

I am gonna do it

Like you never knew it

Oh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me

To break out of this shell

I have to shout

That I am coming out

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out (I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Out)

Got to let it show (I'm coming)

I'm coming out (I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Out)

Got to let it show

[Verse 2]

I've got to show the world

All that I wanna be

And all my abillities

There's so much more to me

Somehow I'll have to make them

Just understand

I got it well in hand

And oh, how I've planned

I'm spreading love

There is no need to fear

And I just feel so good

Every time I hear

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out (I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Out)

Got to let it show (I'm coming)

I'm coming out (I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Out)

Got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show (Want the world to know, gotta let it show)

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out (I, I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Out)

Got to let it show (I want the world to know, gotta let it show)

I'm coming out (I, I, I)

I want the world to know (I'm coming out)

Got to let it show (Watch out, I'm coming out)

[Chorus]

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

[Chorus]

I'm coming out (I'm coming)

I want the world to know (Coming out)

Got to let it show (Want the world to know, gotta let it show)

[Outro]

I, I'm coming out

I have to show that I'm coming out

I want the world to know, gotta let it show

I'm coming, I'm coming out
